Hello, friends.
There are now 133 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2024. Report dates for spring training, though not yet official, are probably now no more than three months away.
Is it worth celebrating an Orioles pitcher finishing in fourth place in the Cy Young voting for this year? Kyle Bradish just missed getting onto the “finalist” list. We have not seen any Orioles pitcher get Cy votes since 2016, when Zack Britton’s incredible season of relief also got him a fourth place finish. It’s a nice marker of progress, if not a huge one. The team finally had someone good enough to be in those conversations.
